Eleven-year-old Tom, whose father has been dead three years, overhears a proposal of marriage to his mom. He sneaks out of the house at night to think things over and sees the styrofoam packing from the new refrigerator by the stream. Hmm...will it float? Not only will it float, but he can use it for a raft, and thus begins his adventures. He is swept away to an underground cave, where he meets ...oh, I won't spoil it for you! Let me just say there are treasures, bodies, villains, and a hero involved. Meanwhile, his mother is facing troubles of her own. She also encounters villains and an unlikely hero. This is a very well-written, entertaining book for both boys and girls.
Caution: Quite a bit of violence.
